Shadow

2011-05-09T18:26:00.001+03:00

Shadow?

Shadows occur when an object obstructs the path of light. The shape of the shadow is determined by the shape of an object and is a direct result of light passing the edge of the object casting the shadow. Typically, there are two types of shadow that I sketch – Sunlight, and Drop Shadows. Drop shadows are shadows cast directly below on a plane by the object as seen below

Since drop shadows are simple enough, I’ll cover another kind here – the Artificial Light Shadow.
Before we continue, if you’re into the more technical of explanations, you can check out this website.

Natural Light Shadow

Technically speaking, there is no difference between an artificial light source and a sunlight source. The sun is so far away that the rays emanating from that light source though, converging at the source, appear parallel on earth. Check out the photo below. Fortunately, I had a sunny day in San Francisco and a chance to take some good photos.
See more after the break…

Since the difference is negligible, we will assume the light rays in our sketches to be parallel as well. Check out the video below the post to see how it’s constructed.
Basically, lines are projected from each corner of the top surface as well as the corresponding corners of the bottom face of the cube. The intersection points are connected and voila! We have a shadow! Simple enough right?

Artificial Light Shadow

Artificial light shadows are basically the same as a natural light shadow, however, our light source is alot closer to us – millions of miles closer to us. Check out the example shown in this photo -

With an artificial light source, lines are projected from the center of the point light source (in this case, a lightbulb) as well as the base of that light source as it intersects the plane on which the object rests.
Since the lines projected aren’t parallel as with the sunlight example, the shadow that is projected will appear to get wider, the further away from the object you go. In the above example, the shadow spreads out wider to the right of the picture.

Check out the video below as well as the sketches to see how to construct simple shadows on paper.
Well, hope this covers some simple shadow tips. Try applying this to some more complex shapes and experiment. As always, experiment and have fun, and if you have any questions, contact us in the forums or post your work for critique.

Fantastical Queens

2010-12-17T01:06:00.001+02:00

Hailing from Switzerland, Alex Gertschen and Felix Meier create imaginative, surreal worlds. It is their conscious decision to build sceneries in real terms and not on computer screens. Thanks to the realistic backgrounds, their pictures never give the impression of being artificial, but instead look vibrant and playful. In their most recent work, "Thirteen Queens," a universe is presided over by fantastical queens.

10 Wickedly Cool Sculptures

For today's compilation post, I decided to put together some of my favorite sculptures. These ten have been chosen because they each possess a slightly dark feeling. I call them wickedly cool and though some lean more towards cool than wicked, they're all meant to give you a lasting memory and even, perhaps, a few goosebumps.

Crack The Whip
A sweet cemetery sculpture gets a bit creepy when an anonymous person places birthday party hats on their heads and brightly colored beads around their necks. This grouping of sculptures, by J. Seward Johnson, bring back memories of childhood days, and is one of the many focal points in the cemetery.

Location: Sunset Hills Cemetery

The Awakening
J. Seward Johnson also created The Awakening, a 100-foot statue of a giant embedded in the earth, struggling to free himself. The statue consists of five separate aluminum pieces buried in the ground, giving the impression of a panicked giant trying to pull himself to the surface.

Current Location: National Harbor in Prince George's County, Maryland, just outside the District of Columbia.

American Merchant Mariners' Memorial
The memorial, designed by artist Marisol, was based on a true event during World War II, in which a Nazi U-boat attacked an American merchant marine vessel. While the marines held on to their sinking vessel, the Nazis photographed the victims, then left. The memorial is directly inspired by one of those photographs.

Location: West side of Battery Park, New York

What You See Might Not Be Real
Chen Wenling's sculpture shows a bull, meant to represent Wall Street, seen ramming the biggest con man of all time, Bernie Madoff, into a wall. The huge cloud coming out of the bull's rear not only refers to the end of a greedy era, but also symbolizes the danger of virtual bubbles in international financial markets.

Location: Beijing gallery

Melting Ice Cream Truck
Orest Keywan won $30,000 for the Sulpture by the Sea prize in 2006. Constructed with steel, stainless steel, sandstone and limestone, the piece evokes memories of shifting landscapes. Also a reference to global warming? Perhaps.

Location: Tamarama Beach, Australia

Emergence
Sayaka Kajita Ganz created these wild horse sculptures from trash-picked objects like plastic utensils, toys, and metals. She says, "By building these sculptures I try to understand the human relationships that surround me. It is a way for me to contemplate and remind myself that even if there is conflict right now, there is a way for all the pieces to fit together."

Location: Roaming Exhibitions

Horizons
Though the jury's still out as to whether this sculpture by Neil Dawson is in fact an optical illusion sculpture or a hoax, we're going with the former. The sculpture almost makes us feel as if we're living in a cartoon world.

Location: New Zealand on "The Farm," a large private art park owned by Alan Gibbs.

Maman
Like a creature escaping from a nightmare, or a larger-than-life embodiment of a secret childhood fear, the giant spider Maman casts a powerful physical and psychological shadow. Over 30 feet high, the mammoth sculpture is one of the most ambitious undertakings in the long career of Louse Bourgeois.

Location: Guggenheim Museum Bilbao

Device to Root out Evil
Dennis Oppenheim created this upside-down church made of galvanized structural steel, anodized perforated aluminum, transparent red Venetian glass, and concrete. Balancing on its steeple, the church is meant to look like it has been lifted by a terrific force and brought to the site as a method of rooting out evil forces.

Location: Harbour Green Park, Coal Harbour, Vancouver.

Self
Marc Quinn's Self is a reproduction of the British artist's head composed of nine pints of his own frozen blood. It's Quinn's signature piece in the art world and it took him over a period of 5 months to complete. Can you say bloody brilliant?

Remarkable Collection of Steampunk Sculptures

Continuing the theme of Steampunk – Unique Steampunk Insects – we want you to show the remarkable collection of Steampunk characters, engines and vehicles created by Belgian artist Stephane Halleux. For a long time Stephane worked as an illustrator and drew cartoons in his spare time. In recent years he became interested in steampunk style and the creation of unusual sculptures. About his work, he says: "I like crazy mixtures, unlikely associations, advanced technology mixed with mechanisms of long ago. I've always been fascinated by robotics, its advantages and contradictions." While creating these sculptures Stephen used leather, metal, wood pulp and recycled materials. The real size of the sculptures you could see at the last photo. I'm sure these crazy sculptures will not live you indifferent!

The Work of Sam Jinks

2010-04-29T21:40:00.000+03:00

Interview with Sam Jinks (NSFW)

Sam Jinks currently lives and works in Melbourne where he spends his time creating hyper-realistic Sculptures out of Silicon. With a background in Film and Television effects, he has been a commercial sculptor for 11 years, the last 5 working on his own art full time.

Hi Sam, could you tell us a little about your background? How did you get started?
I've always loved sculptural realism in art. Its evolved over the years but a beautifully sculpted figure always inspires me. I got started in sculpture professionally while working on TV ads making puppets and props, from there I worked in film for a number of years. It was a great start because I learned how to mold and cast sculptures and use latex and silicones.

What are you currently working on?
I'm currently working towards several shows for next year with a bunch of new works. It's a very busy time. At this stage I'm spending most of my time sculpting in clay as most of the works are still being modeled.

Could you talk through the creative process for one of your recently completed projects? (The Hanging Man)
The hanging man was conceived over a long period, I sculpted an early version some years before I produced the final one, but was never quite happy with it. I couldn't leave it alone so I ended up going back to it and producing the one that was finally exhibited. Usually I sculpt a small maquette or miniature version before doing it full scale but in this case it wound up being produced twice..four times including maquettes. The process to produce most of these works is very similar. They begin as clay sculptures built up over an armature then there molded and cast in silicone. Once the cast is cleaned up I then poke the hairs into it and add a little final colour.

What do you hope the viewer will take away from your sculptures?
I'd like to think that the viewer would feel something after viewing the work, perhaps they could even have some sort of physical experience or maybe see something that they can relate to in their own lives.

Which of your projects has been the most rewarding?
I'd have to say its always the one I'm working on at the moment.

Your techniques seem similar to movie prop making? Do you have any interest in the film industry and special effects?
I have worked in film and have always loved the process of making something to support a story. It's a fun job. I do occasionally work with friends in film but its generally to help out.

Which artists have influenced you, what has been an inspiration?
It seems to change constantly but I usually return to renaissance artists for inspiration, I have a beautiful Bosch print I've been dragging from studio to studio that's starting to look a little faded now. That whole period inspires me, there was a mystery in the work that i love. Things were primarily done for religious purposes so it gives the work a very reverential feel.

Do you have any advice for people looking to get into sculpting and the creative industry?
Drawing is always a great place to start if you're interested in sculpture, I think if your drawing skills are good then sculpting comes quite naturally. As far as the creative industry goes I think there is always room for someone who has there own outlook on the world. It's not always easy to get your work out there but if you're committed and if you persist, then you're bound to succeed.

where can people see your work?
My next major solo show is in May of next year with Karen Woodbury Gallery in Melbourne.

Creative Shoes: 13 of the Wildest Shoe Designs and Brands

While the majority of consumers are content to purchase the newest brand of name brand shoes, in the same color and style they always get, this doesn't hold true for everyone. In our daily lives we only come across the occasional individual who truly works at expressing their personality via their shoes. Here are 13 groups of the wildest shoes you wouldn't even see on the most outrageous free spirit:

Fur coats are common, but fur shoes, not so much. In the Native American tradition of using every part of an animal, some creative shoe designers have taken this philosophy to the next level… creating shoes that appear animalistic to an extreme.

Designers are always pushing the boundaries between form and function, in the hope of inspiring new lines that can be sold to a wider audience. Some designers add new features, while other try to go so minimalist that they remove entire sections of a shoe to reveal what's beneath.

Almost all shoes are designed in the same boring fashion, but there are definitely exceptions. Whether a designer utilizes a smoother, waving form, or manipulates the shape into something that hardly resembles a shoe, they all let their creativity go wild.

There aren't any rules when it comes to design, and some creative innovators try to redefine what we consider set in stone. Some of the results are too radical for most people's taste, but the occasional design will strike a chord with a larger audience (or a wealthy customer), and become a true success.

When you're dressing up in costume, it's important not to forget your feet. You can go for the realistic, disgusting look, or put on a pair of rats that look way too real. Either way, you'll leave a trail of groaning friends in your wake.

High heels give a graceful, elegant look, and the height of a model. Just like anything, though, extremes can be ridiculous. Incredibly tall high heels can add an artistic flair to a model walking down the runway, but there is an element of very real danger. A lot of women have twisted their ankles, and taken bad spills.

Some shoes are made out of alternative materials in order to be more environmentally friendly, or add an interesting twist to a typically mundane clothing item, but this isn't always the case. Necessity breeds invention, and sadly, this means that some of the poorest people are forced to make shoes out of any materials they can get their hands on.

Not all mainstream shoe makers are boring. Shoe makers will make special edition shoes that appeal to a niche group of consumers, and advertise the brand as something unique. Form fitting shoes are meant to give better feedback to one's feet, while still protecting them from the elements, but they look as out of this world as a pair of a dinosaur sneakers, or as ridiculous as a tennis ball shoe.

While it may not be incredibly functional, shoes can be a fantastic medium for artistic endeavors. There's something inherently interesting about a common, and typically boring, element from our everyday lives being turned into something creative and unique.

Quirky and outlandish shoes are a great way to stand out in a crowd and express an artistic spirit. You can search high and low for rare and exotic designs, or add to an already existing model and make it your own. The true DIY fanatic will find a way to make anything unique.

Like a novelty clown nose, or gigantic foam hands and hats created for sporting events or special occasions, there's a seemingly endless variety of shoes meant to cause a laugh. The stereotypical clown shoe is just the beginning, as almost any item can be turned into a semblance of a shoe, though it might not be the most comfortable thing to wear.

Most people who have worn high heels will attest that they're not the most comfortable clothing item in the world, but some designers express this in an industrial, and blatant way, by adding heavy, painful looking spikes and metals, and turning an elegant item into something intimidating.

Some of the more oddball shoe designs are hard to categorize… they could have a humorous intent, or be avante gard, or are simply hideous and indecipherable. The importance of shoes that push the limits can't be stressed enough, as they are the driving force behind innovation and change in an industry that has always tended to remain uncontroversial.
